The new palace, designed by the English architect John Dobson, closely follows the English, classicist form of the neo-Gothic, the Tudor Gothic. It is a two-story cubic building with a crenellated crown and a flat roof. The corners of the building are flanked by turrets. A kind of dark basalt, so-called lung stone from Londorf, was used as building material for the late Gothic building, which, in contrast to most other basalt types of stonemasons, can be worked well, which is why it has also been used for the restoration of Cologne Cathedral for years Commitment comes.

A still inhabited castle that suddenly appears out of nowhere.
Those who want to see more should take the path on the other side of the Lahn from the Friedelhausen railway station via the Hofgut to the castle.

In the immediate vicinity of the castle is the Hofgut Friedelhausen, also belonging to the city of Lollar, which is now managed by a socio-therapeutic community as a Demeter business with a farm shop.
